It is challenging to be still, and yet a quiet mind and body is essential to the emotional freedom of Stageolgy. A quiet mind reprograms our biology for calm. When we are calm our body stimulates endorphins (natural painkillers), serotonin ( a natural antidepressant), and dopamine ( a hormone that helps us feel good).


There is a loud frantic quality to our busy minds that masks the subtlety of the information that wants to come through. Stillness allows wholeness to speak instead of the fragmented mental chatter of our conflicted mind. Silence allows creative insights to emerge from a place that is deeper than our inner and outer conflicts. Spending time in stillness intensifies intuition and creativity.It is the gateway to our child within.

When we are developing inner stillness, we might first feel emptiness instead of fullness. Often the absence of thought feels difficult to bear at first. We can be addicted to the drama of busyness and loud negative emotions. Negative loud emotions can feel more familiar than the quiet wholeness of our intuition.
